The hotel is a bit difficult to locate as its entrance is from a small lane, but a large board on the main road advertises their restaurant, Al Sahaby Lane. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful.
One major disadvantage is that they do not have a lift to go to the rooms, which are in the first to third floors, and so if you have a mobility issue, do not book here. The room was small, but well appointed. The bathroom was clean and had all amenities. I was disappointed with the bath area, which was a tiny square with a shower curtain on 3 sides. Once your body got wet with water, the curtain tended to stick to your back, making the whole bathing experience so uncomfortable that I pushed the curtain away, resulting in the whole bathroom becoming wet by the time my shower ended.
The main attraction of the hotel is its proximity to the Luxor temple, market area and railway station all of which are within 500 meters or so from the hotel. There are plenty of eateries all around, including some in the Nile Corniche, which are within walking distance.
All in all, it is a wonderful area for a budget traveller, or for anyone who does not mind the minor inconveniences that I described above.

Hotel receptionist Reem is very kind. Tell me the fee of taxi. Room is well cleaning. Hotel location is very good for sightseeing. The breakfast at the rooftop of the hotel is very good.

Recommend for anyone traveling on a temple trip. Relax on top of hotel at restaurant, enjoy delicious food and Luxor temple and Nile river views. Recommend for family. I travelled with my son for a father -son trip, was perfect

The restaurant, location and view were good. The room was noisy all night from the restaurant noise, doors opening and closing all night we barely got any sleep. The service was most terrible of any other hotels we had been to and we already been to 45 countries, staying at many hotels.com listings They emailed us informing us about the airport pickup service and tours information so we emailed back asking for more information about the tours and they did not answer and question, just asking for payment for the pickup service. And the cost is triple the taxi price. We stayed an extra night, the same type of room but had to change to another room the next afternoon. When we got back from our tour, they rushed us to change the room, we could not find the key and they said it was a big problem and wanted to charge us half the price of the room rate while wanting to move us out of the room. In the policy it listed there is 24 hours between room bookings which iant true in our case.

Pros: It was near the end of our trip and this hotel was a good budget option. There are great views over Luxor Temple, the Nile River and the balloons rising over The Valley of the Kings. A little pricier than the surroundings but I was able to buy bottled water and have dinner at the attached restaurant. The staff is amazing, even providing plate and utensils when one person in our group bought in outside snack to try. The airport transfer was cheaper than the tour company I was using and it was a nice car.
Cons: The biggest con is probably that the market is right there when you exit the hotel. Offers to sell you everything can get annoying. Room-wise, I would've preferred a full door instead of the bathroom door being partially a privacy glass.

Pro: just across from Luxor Temple and Nile River and there is bazaar behind the hotel.
Cons: No elevator. The rooftop where breakfast is served is on the 5th floor with no elevator.
The area is surrounded by folks trying to force you to ride horses, take their taxis or buy things.
The toilet is old style taking shower using handheld without shower curtains so it can be super wet after you take a shower

The property is very nice. What I don’t like is the high price about everything. A taxi from airport cost 200 Egyptian pounds when then want to charge you 490 Egyptian pounds. They sell a tour to West Bank for 470 each person when everyone else paid 200 Egyptian pounds. The Air Hot Ballon costs 40 usd and they try to charge you 75 usd. It is not nice for a hotel to try to steal from guests. Being more honest about price will be better and get more people send over you!

Stayed 4 nights. Very comfortable. Rooftop dining is great. Great free breakfast buffet!! Very convenient for us to visit everything. Left our bags on the last day. Horse carriage drivers and taxi drivers outside the hotel are very aggressive.

Not much I can add to other positive reviews.
Perfect no frills stay in the heart of Luxor for budget no-nonsense travelers.
It's simple and cost/value ratio is tops.
Food is delicious and cheap.
Inclusive breakfast had all what we needed before running out the door.
